The Role
We're hiring our first Founding GTM Engineer to build the automated systems behind the company's revenue motion from scratch. This is a base-only, no-quota role at the intersection of engineering and go-to-market, treating pipeline and outbound as engineering problems to be instrumented, iterated, and scaled.
What you'll be doing
- Design and build scalable lead-gen and enrichment systems using AI-native workflows, APIs, and automation tools, targeting AI engineers and founders deploying conversational agents
- Build and own the GTM data layer: clean enriched lead lists, account scoring, CRM architecture, and reporting dashboards
- Develop and optimize SEO and GEO strategies, owning discoverability as a core channel for pipeline generation
- Wire the GTM stack into automated systems that increase outbound velocity and reduce manual work across the team
- Treat go-to-market like a product: instrument it, measure it, iterate rapidly on what drives qualified pipeline
- Work in the trenches with the founders and GTM team to spot funnel bottlenecks and engineer them away
Tech stack: APIs, automation and LLM-powered tooling, CRM architecture, and custom-built systems (beyond off-the-shelf tools like Clay).
Requirements
- 2+ years GTM engineering, RevOps, or growth engineering experience
- SEO and GEO proficiency required (near deal-breaker if absent)
- Builds with code and APIs, not just configures tools
- AI-native workflows required
- SF in-person, 5 days per week, 9am to 7pm
- AEO or GEO company background a strong plus (e.g., Profound)
Green Flags
- AI-native in daily workflows
- Engineering background or proven system-building ability
- Background at an AEO or GEO company
- Scrappy, early-stage startup experience
Red Flags
- Not AI-native in workflows
- No SEO or GEO experience
- Tool configurator, not a system builder
Why Join
- First GTM hire with full ownership of the revenue systems layer, built from scratch
- Strong backing and early traction: seed-funded, enterprise customers, rapid early ARR growth
- Engineering-flavored GTM: base-only, no quota — measured by pipeline created and rep efficiency gained, not dashboards built
